Was Nalanda a university in the modern sense? And what ultimately led to its downfall? Nalanda by Abhay K. unravels these questions, telling the story of the rise, fall, and re-rise of Nalanda Mahavihara. Through extensive research, the book explores Nalanda’s contributions in fields such as science, mathematics, philosophy, art, architecture, and poetry. It also highlights the great luminaries who elevated its unparalleled reputation as the preeminent seat of knowledge, as well as the foreign scholars who visited the celebrated monastery. Broad in sweep and deep in history, Nalanda is a thrilling read that sheds new light on Nalanda and its journey over millennia.
